Asanas - meditation posture

An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose, and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as an exercise to any type of yogic position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali define “asana” as ” a position that is steady and comfortable.” Patanjali mentions the ability to sit for extended periods as one of the eight limbs of his system.
The main object of all meditation poses is to enable the practitioner to sit comfortably still for extended periods of time. In fact, only when the body is steady and still for a long time only then can deep meditation take place. In order to reach that state, yogic asanas need to be performed, which will make the body more flexible and resistant.
